Abstract

In recent decades many development organizations and institutions in the global scale have focused on the promotion of participatory approaches to encourage bottom-up planning and EMPOWERMENT of communities so that they take more control of development activities. COMMUNITY BASED PLANNING provides alterative to traditional top-clown or development controlled planning and decision-making and emphasizing comprehensive, multi-sectoral approaches to complex and persistent urban problems. This approach has led to a proliferation of COMMUNITY based system of planning and management initiatives in cities and towns across the country. There are many definitions of 'community' and 'communities'. It is important to note that people define for themselves which communities they feel part of external or arbitrary forces cannot impose this sense of belonging. "The concept of COMMUNITY implies interaction, identity, mutuality and shared values" (Bezzina, 1998). Many of us identify as part of more than one 'community'. It is often said that COMMUNITY-based planning is very difficult to achieve in communities for its very nature of bridging governmental jurisdictions and turfs of all other local organizations. One possible solution to this dilemma is to create either a private non-profit umbrella organization comprising all the local organizations- local governmental entities and all other private non-profit organizations. Creating such an entity and empowering its board to see to it that the interests of the individual member entities' "become secondary to the interests of the overall COMMUNITY would be a great implementation asset. Explore in related theories, ideas, attributes and concepts of COMMUNITY BASED PLANNING reveals that mentioned approach have several characteristics such as social interaction, facilitator, process oriented approach? Resident-driven, Asset-based, widespread adoption of participatory and 'people centered'. An alternative approach is asset based COMMUNITY development, which involves identifying the capacities of individuals, associations and institutions and mobilizing these for development purposes. "As communities attempt to build a healthy future, they must often struggle against a development perspective that encourages them to see only what happens when they focus solely on what is missing in their COMMUNITY and they know that this approach does not produce positive results. In fact every COMMUNITY has needs, problems and deficiencies; the choice for COMMUNITY groups is whether that is all they want to focus on. Like a glass of water filled to the middle which can be viewed as either half empty or half full, a COMMUNITY can be seen as a half empty place comprised of clients with needs and deficiencies or as a place half full of citizens with capacities and gifts to give" (Kretzmann and McKnight, 1997).According to these characteristics, COMMUNITY BASED PLANNING in ultimately led to sustainability in decisions at all levels of planning and management.The purpose for which COMMUNITY-based planning is conducted could be: to make plans more relevant to local needs and conditions to increase COMMUNITY involvement in provision of public services, due to lack of capacity of government agencies to increase people's control over their own lives and livelihoods.Present article try not only to show paradigm shift in the urbanism-why and how- but also to explain causes of appearance, and define the capacities and characteristics of COMMUNITY BASED PLANNING approach.
